Let them know

So without further ado…here is mine :)

Jocelyn slept longer than Taggert expected.

What a thing to escape into a dream, where nightmares are
faceless and in the peripheral of thought. They never stand before you and
demand resolution. In dreams you can run, delay, postpone, but rarely confront.
Is this why she slept? Maybe her fantasy nightmares were easier than her waking
ones. Was she peacefully lying there fleeing her existence?

When
she opened her eyes, Taggert looked away. He wanted to give her some time to
remember where she was and what had happened, without his gaze.

Now,
to find 7 people who haven’t done this yet…Hmmm. If you have already been tagged…sorry for the
re-tag :)

Your BIRTHDAY! I didn't know. I throw confetti, hand you a cupcake, give you a huge hug. Thank you for the tag! And, I love this moment in your manuscript. "When she opened her eyes, Taggert looked away. He wanted to give her some time to remember where she was and what had happened, without his gaze." I love Taggert and I don't even know who he is.

Happy Birthday! And I like the excerpt, especially the part about how dreams don't "demand resolution". Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of a really good dream and I'll try to go back to sleep just so I can finish the dream and find out what happens next.

About Angie

I LOVE books of all kinds and in just the last few years I've discovered I also LOVE to write. I'm currently working on creating a compelling story: a little romance,a little betrayal, a well placed twist, and if a few people die-well it was bound to happen :)
